Abstract

A battery accommodating mechanism includes a bottom plate, a battery accommodating device, a pin plate assembly and a top plate assembly sequentially arranged from bottom to top. The battery accommodating device includes a battery tray and a tray bottom plate assembly and mounting holes and cooling fans. The top plate assembly includes a top plate, a guide shaft slidably connected to the linear bearing embedded in the mounting holes, a circuit board and a driving member driving the bottom plate of the tray to move up and down so that the electrodes of the batteries in the battery tray contact and separate from the pin plate assembly to form the batteries. The pin board assembly includes a mounting board with pins arranged on the bottom surface of the mounting board and electrically connected with the pin board circuit board. The invention improves the efficiency of capacity dividing.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A battery capacity dividing mechanism according to the present invention is characterized in that it includes a bottom plate ( 100 ), a battery accommodating device, a pin plate assembly ( 400 ) and a top plate assembly ( 500 ) arranged in sequence from bottom to top, wherein:
 The upper surface of the horizontally arranged bottom plate ( 100 ) is provided with a support platform for supporting the battery accommodating device;   The battery accommodating device includes a horizontally arranged tray bottom plate assembly ( 200 ) and a battery tray ( 300 ). The tray bottom plate assembly ( 200 ) disposed on the said support platform of the bottom plate ( 100 ) includes a tray bottom plate ( 210 ), a linear bearing ( 220 ) and a cooling fan ( 230 ). The tray bottom plate ( 210 ) is provided with a tray placement area ( 280 ) whose each of the four outer corners is provided with a mounting holes ( 260 ) penetrating the tray bottom plate ( 210 ), and the mounting hole ( 260 ) is embedded with a linear bearings ( 220 ); some heat dissipation holes ( 270 ) is provided in the tray placement area ( 280 ) each of which a heat dissipation fan ( 230 ) is embedded in to dissipate heat of the battery ( 700 ) in the battery tray ( 300 ) during the charging and discharging process; the battery tray ( 300 ) is movably arranged between the tray bottom plate ( 200 ) and the pin plate assembly ( 400 ), and the battery tray ( 300 ) is provided with a plurality of battery placement slots ( 310 ) for fixing batteries;   The top plate assembly ( 500 ) disposed above the battery accommodating device includes a horizontally disposed top plate ( 510 ), a guide shaft ( 520 ), a pin board circuit board ( 530 ), and a drive member ( 540 ) driving the tray bottom plate ( 210 ) to move up and down, wherein the top of the guide shaft ( 520 ) being fixedly connected with the top plate ( 510 ) while the lower part of that being slidably connected with the linear bearing ( 220 ); the driving member ( 540 ) is installed on the bottom of the top plate ( 510 ) while the lifting end of that is connected to the tray bottom plate assembly ( 200 ) to drive the tray bottom plate ( 210 ) to move up and down so that the electrodes of the batteries in the battery tray ( 300 ) contact and separate from the pin plate assembly ( 400 ); the main power connection terminal of the pin board circuit board ( 530 ) mounted on the top plate ( 510 ) is electrically connected to an external power supply while the sub-power transmission connection terminal of that is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the pin board assembly ( 400 ) so that the external power supply is transferred and distributed to the pin board assembly ( 400 );   The pin plate assembly ( 400 ) includes a pin mounting plate ( 410 ) mounted on the bottom surface of the top plate ( 510 ) and a plurality of sets of pins ( 420 ) fixed on the bottom surface of the pin mounting plate ( 410 ) and located right above the battery placement slot ( 310 ). Each set of the pins ( 420 ) corresponds to one of the battery placement slots ( 310 ) while the connection end of that is electrically connected to the sub-power transmission connection end of the pin board circuit board ( 530 ).   
     
     
         2 . The battery capacity dividing mechanism according to  claim 1 , characterized in that: the tray bottom plate assembly ( 200 ) further includes a limiting pillar ( 250 ) and two guide bars ( 240 ) arranged on the tray bottom plate ( 210 ) in parallel and spaced apart on opposite sides of the tray placement area ( 280 ); The battery tray ( 300 ) is slidably disposed on the tray bottom plate ( 210 ) between the two guide bars ( 240 ); the limit ( 250 ) is disposed at the edge of the rear side of the upper surface of the tray bottom plate ( 210 ) to prevent the battery tray ( 300 ) from sliding out of the tray bottom plate ( 210 ) and position the battery tray ( 300 ). 
     
     
         3 . A battery capacity dividing mechanism according to  claim 1 , characterized in that: the driving member ( 540 ) selects one of vertically arranged air cylinders, hydraulic cylinders or electric telescopic rods. 
     
     
         4 . A battery capacity dividing mechanism according to  claim 3 , characterized in that: the driving member ( 540 ) is an air cylinder whose cylinder body is fixed on the top plate ( 510 ), and the telescopic end of that is fixed on the tray bottom plate ( 210 ). 
     
     
         5 . The battery capacity dividing mechanism according to  claim 1 , characterized in that: the top plate assembly ( 500 ) further includes a positioning dowel ( 550 ) vertically disposed on the bottom surface of the top plate ( 510 ), and the battery tray ( 300 ) is provided with the positioning hole ( 320 ) corresponding to the positioning dowel ( 550 ). 
     
     
         6 . The battery capacity dividing mechanism according to  claim 1 , characterized in that: the pin plate assembly ( 400 ) further includes a guide plate ( 430 ) fixed on the bottom surface of the pin mounting plate ( 410 ); the pins ( 420 ) is fixed on the central axis of the guide groove ( 440 ) provided on the guide plate ( 430 ); the lower end of the guide groove ( 440 ) has a flared opening that gradually expands from top to bottom providing fine-tuning of the position of the battery ( 700 ) to eliminate the influence of assembly errors and component size errors and align battery ( 700 ) with pin ( 420 ) when the battery ( 700 ) approaches pin ( 420 ).
